The Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary.
 The
Resurrection:
The women go early to the tomb of our Lord and Savior and are told of
the Resurrection by an angel. The disciples, slow to believe the women,
are convinced by Peter, the two returned from Emmaus, and Jesus himself.
Thomas, the last to believe, proclaims Jesus' divinity. [Go

 The
Ascension:
On Ascension day our Lord appears to the disciples and His mother. He gives
the apostles final instructions and promises to send the Holy Spirit. Then,
going out to Mount Olivet, Jesus is taken up into heaven and disappears
in a cloud to take His seat at God's right hand. [Go
Back]
 The
Descent of the Holy Spirit:
A strong wind and tongues of fire descend upon the apostles gathered in
one room, and they are filled with the Holy Spirit. They begin to express
themselves in foreign tongues and make bold proclaimations; three thousand
Jews are converted. [Go Back]
 The
Assumption:
Mary and John go to Jerusalem where they are met by the other apostles.
Our Blessed Mother dies in their presence and is buried in a nearby tomb.
Some days later Mary's body is gloriously assumed into heaven where She
is met by Her Son, our Lord. Thomas and the others discover the empty tomb
and proclaim the glorious miracle. [Go
Back]
 The
Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth:
Mary enters the heavenly court to general rejoicing and is enthroned by
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit at the right hand of Jesus. There, God's
daughter, mother, and spouse is crowned queen of heaven and earth. She
is blessed by the Lord Almighty forever and ever. [Go
